Join professionals, community members, and organisations from across the HIV sector for an in-person event focused on improving access to PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for marginalised groups.
When: Wednesday 17th September 2025, 09:00 – 17:30
Where: Clayton Hotel, Birmingham, Albert Street, Birmingham, B5 5JE
Hosted by HIV Prevention England, will enable professionals to,
- share ongoing work aimed at improving PrEP access for marginalised groups,
- discuss findings from research and initiatives investigating PrEP access and uptake
- look ahead to what actions could be taken in the sector to ensure more equitable access to PrEP.
The UK aims to end HIV transmissions by 2030 and we know that PrEP will play a significant role in our ability to achieve this. However, we are currently not on track to meet the 2030 target, and the significant inequalities in PrEP knowledge, access, and uptake among marginalised groups continue to hinder progress and cause concern for those communities’ wellbeing.
Takeaways from the day will include:
- The latest UKHSA data on PrEP need and uptake across different marginalised communities.
- A better understanding of marginalised communities knowledge and attitudes towards PrEP use via research and lived experience case studies.
- Increased knowledge of innovative projects from both community based organisations and providers to increase PrEP knowledge and access, including online PrEP provision.
